Just One Thing

Carolyn Bradfield — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 14:51:38 +0000

One of my favorite concepts on morning television is the “Just One Thing” segment on Good Morning America. Sam Champion, normally the hunky weather guy, focuses on one small thing you can do to “green” your environment at home. Sam has offered suggestions on changing your cookware strategy, purchasing eco-friendly televisions, solar powered battery chargers and changing your habit of using plastic packaging.

Even though most of us may not consider ourselves as environmentalists, as consumers and business people we need to start thinking about those “just one thing” commitments we can make to cut our consumption of environmental impacting activities. Most of us generally don’t make changes unless there is either a “carrot” or a “stick” that motivates us to do so. It’s generally the “stick” or a significant enough pain point that is the better catalyst for change.

Here is the stick right now. Although there is plenty of oil being produced in the Middle East, there is a significant amount of conflict in oil-producing countries. Egypt changed hands; Libya is in the middle of a civil war and the unrest of suppressed populations has spilled over into countries that had experienced little historic conflict. Oil speculators have driven up the cost of a barrel of oil to sustained, record heights.

How does this affect us? For every penny that the price of a gallon of fuel rises, the airline industry loses $175M a year. How are we all going to feel when gasoline is at $5 a gallon or over or an average airline ticket is over $500? Dependence on oil has become America’s new crack cocaine habit and it’s going to be painful to make some changes. However, I think that the stick is now big enough to make us pay attention.

Here are some “just one thing” ideas that I think we can execute today to help us get “off the crack”:
• Change the work schedule of your commuters and let them work from home one or more days a week. Monitor their productivity electronically. In today’s world, you don’t have to see someone to know they are working, given all the ways we have to keep track of people.
• Meet virtually. Do we really need to drive all over town for a meeting that lasts an hour. Web conferencing is easy to use, inexpensive and very effective.
• Reconsider your travel strategy. Do you really need to drive to the airport, squeeze in that crowded airplane seat and spend that amount of money on hotels, rental cars and meals? Can you use other ways to attend to business virtually and save travel for when it’s really needed?
• Look around your office and think about what you consume that is oil based. At Copper, we stopped buying bottled water (bottles made of petroleum products) and switched to a water cooler with reusable containers.

Of course, if you want to take it further, there are a number of other things you can do. Here is what I plan to change:
• I’m purchasing a “street-legal” electric golf cart to run my errands. I figured that quite a few trips are within 5 miles of my house.
